Gee Bangkok Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Hi My Thai made Yaris is a great little go-cart car. Apart from the ride, it's hard and noice. It's not refined car, it's cheap! And BKK roads are so bad! Bridgestone ecopia 185/60r15 are the original tyres on it. Any suggestions for a smooth and quieter ride tyres? Cheers Gee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwasaki Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Some premium tyres with a considerably quieter run on the roads include Bridgestone Turanza T001/T005, Goodyear GT3, Michelin Primacy, Continental Conti Sport Contact 5P, and several others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganoga Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 I bought a Yaris with 7k on the clock 2.5 years ago. came with new Dunlop Enesave ec300 tires on it, now at 57000k, and should last this next rainy season. No hydroplaning, good grip, and seem quiet, but can't compare to anything else. I'll buy these again when they wear out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chongalulu Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 These are a low rolling resistance tyre (supposed to aid fuel economy) but there’s always a trade off with tyre technology,which may be ride comfort? I don’t think the Yaris (great little car it is) is high on ride comfort anyway so perhaps a more conventional tyre (like the Turanza mentioned by previous poster) might help in that respect. My daughters Yaris in U.K. now has Bridgestone Turanzas which they’re very happy with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jotnar Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Wouldn't upgrading the suspension, shocks, struts, be a better idea. Tyres can only do so much, if anything, unless tyres themselves are noisy. All the entry level cars are terrible on the road, noise, bumps and vibration. Add some undercoating (during dry season), might help deaden the road noise, and maybe some sound deadening material on the floor inside. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same with the suspension components. For noise, try full floor insulation from an audio shop, and some fully fitted floor mats on top of that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinRacing Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 It’s an entry level Toyota for goodness sake. Even the high end ones are at best average. Adapt to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had michelin ps3 then ps4 on our swift. It was amazing in the wet. It drove like there was no water on the road. The trade-off was tire noise. After those, we changed to toyo cr-1 which was a good compromise. It was my wife;s car to, so no real need for sports tires, as she doesn't drive fast. Anothe good tire for quietness and comfort is yokohama db 552, though I've not personlly used them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The high end ones are called a Lexus. They are pretty nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
